Streamlined customer onboarding has reduced processing time from days to under an hour
There are several phenomenal features in Adobe Sign, and for me personally, the web forms feature is one of the best because it allows flexibility and the ability for signers to access the documents remotely without having to be sent a document for signature. All they need is a link or a QR code to the actual web form, which enables them to fill in and sign the document electronically on any device. The web forms feature has saved a lot of time and administration back and forth from a customer and supplier perspective. In general, it has added a whole level of efficiency for the organization as a whole. As mentioned with the customer registration document, Adobe Sign has greatly improved efficiency for the processing of customer registration documents. Previously, the process took potentially anything up to 10 working days, but with the current process in place, it has been minimized down to less than 60 minutes.

A user-friendly e-signature solution that offers a range of functionalities, including an intuitive UI
Using Nintex AssureSign, one should be able to send the template via text or SMS. Currently, merge mapping can only be done within a specific object. If we want to do a merge mapping for related objects, we need to create a lot of automation. It would be great if, in the future, we have the option to filter out the related records to do a merge mapping and create tables, which will be very helpful in some use cases. For example, if we have a case and lots of expenses related to that case, all the expenses can be merged into Nintex AssureSign template within a table based on the user's selection. As of now, this functionality is not available in Nintex AssureSign. It will be a great feature for billing purposes and invoices if we have it in the future.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Adobe Sign is a reliable product with good support and a continuous improvement process in place."
"Adobe Sign is highly reliable and offers additional features such as 25-year retention filters and audit capabilities."
"The ability to sign digitally is very convenient."
"The most valuable aspect of Adobe Sign is not a single feature, but rather a combination of features. From a broad perspective, the failover system is particularly noteworthy. In the event that Adobe Sign experiences downtime, there are backup measures in place through Amazon AWS that ensure continuity. For instance, if one region experiences an outage, another region can take over seamlessly, which is a significant advantage."
"I give the stability a ten out of ten."
"I would recommend this solution to other people. It is an easy-to-use solution and one of the best."
"It makes it very easy to sign documents."
"I adore using Adobe Sign since it feels intuitive and user-friendly. Its organic design makes it effortless to navigate, so even if you lack experience with Adobe software, you can quickly learn and use it accurately."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten because they really help us."
 

Cons

"The support could improve in Adobe Sign."
"It is hard to keep up with continuous improvements."
"The UI has room for improvement."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"Last year we were informed that the integration between SharePoint and Adobe Sign was expiring in July 2024, prompting us to create a Power Automate flow to automate agreements in Adobe Sign using Power App and Power Automate flow inbuilt with the SharePoint site."
"The solution's UI can be made simpler and easy to use so that I can have the option to make changes if needed."
"The price of the solution could improve for certain plans."
"It works. I have no notes for improvement."
"Currently, merge mapping can only be done within a specific object. If we want to do a merge mapping for related objects, we need to create a lot of automation."
"The solution's initial setup process was a bit complex…The administrative user interface used to create users and track templates and envelopes for our product is outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Adobe Sign is not expensive, but it is premium-priced based on the specific features required. The value you get from the numerous features and free unlimited support, including expert advice, is worth considering when looking for value for money. Unlike licensed components, when you purchase Adobe Sign, you're not just buying support; hence, you won't be faced with any unexpected licensing costs for additional support."
"One area where there is room for improvement is the pricing of the entry-level plans. If you have minimal requirements for electronic signatures, the initial plans may not be suitable for SMBs as they may appear expensive. However, once you start using Adobe Sign, you can see a positive return on investment. Nonetheless, the pricing of the entry-level plans could be improved to cater to businesses with lower signing needs."
"The free edition allows us to use the signature feature."
"As of now, there are no monthly expenses involved in the solution."
"AssureSign offers comfortable prices that are more affordable for clients. This is why many clients are attracted to AssureSign, as it is a cost-effective tool."
